Cobb Test

Guidelines: ISO 535:1991; UN Para 6.1.4.12.1; ASTM 4919 (13.1)

Methods: The absorption of water over a 30-minute period must not be greater than 155 g/m². Average the results from five (5) test specimens. Weigh each specimen before testing and place under the test apparatus consisting of a metal ring (cross-sectional area of 100 square cm) clamped to a flat base plate. Pour 100 ml of water into the ring and let stand for the 30-minute period. Pour the water from the ring 15 seconds before the expiration of the test period, blot the surface with blotting paper and roller, and immediately weigh. The difference between the original and final weight, multiplied by 100, is the weight of water absorbed, in grams per square meter. Samples were conditioned at +23°C and 50% RH for 24 hours prior to testing. Results: Pass (*top photo, **bottom photo) Sample Original Weight, gr Final Weight, gr Difference, g/m2

Testing Orientation

1. Identify Faces according to the diagram below:

2. Identify Edges using the numbers of the two faces forming that edge.

Example: Edge 1-2 is the edge formed by face 1 and face 2 of the package.

3. Identify Corners using the numbers of the three faces that meet to form that corner.

Example: corner 2-3-5 is the corner formed by face 2, face 3 and face 5 of the package.

Drop Test

Guidelines: Code of Federal Regulations 49, Section 178.603; UN Para 6.1.5.3; ASTM D4919 (7.1)

Methods: Five samples, one for each drop, are required for testing. First drop: Flat on bottom (using 1st sample).

Second drop: Flat on top (using 2nd sample). Third drop: Flat on the long side (using 3rd sample). Fourth drop: Flat

on short side (using 4th sample). Fifth drop: On a corner (using 5th sample). Testing of 4G combination packagings

containing other than plastic inner containers for solids is performed when the packagings have been filled to 95% of

capacity and the completed packagings conditioned at +23°C and 50% RH 24 hours prior to testing.

Criteria for passing the test: For combination packagings, there is no damage to the outer packaging likely to

adversely affect safety during transport, and there is no leakage of the filling substance from the inner packaging. The

package/product is dropped from 1.2 meter.

Results:

TEST with Photo RESULT

• Sample #1 is impacted flat on the #3 panel. No breakage/leakage




• Sample #5 is impacted diagonally on the #1-2-5 corner.

(top mfr’s joint corner sustained major deformation ) No breakage/leakage

After the completion of the drop test samples #1 thru #5 were placed on their sides and observed for any leakage, each were then

opened and inspected, samples #1 thru #4 sustained no damage, sample #5 sustained major deformation on the 1-2-5 corner.

Stacking Test

Guidelines: Code of Federal Regulations 49, Section 178.606, UN 6.1.5.6; ASTM 4919 (10.1)

Methods: Three test containers are subjected to a force applied to the top surface equal to the total weight of identical

packages stacked on it in transit. The minimum height of the stack is 3-meters. Three (3) filled containers are closed

as for shipment and subjected to a static compression load of 120.3 kg, equivalent to a 3-meter high stack of identical

packages, continuously for 24 hours. Packaging submitted were conditioned at +23°C and 50% RH 24 hours prior to

testing.

Free Standing X

Guided Load

Criteria for passing the test: No test sample may leak. No sample may show any deterioration, which would

adversely affect transportation safety or any distortion likely to reduce its strength or cause instability in stacks of

packages. The following details the compressive load applied in the stacking test:

Stacking height = SH = (3 meter = 3000mm)

Height of Package = PH (mm)

Number of Packages = n

Maximum gross weight of the package = MGW (kg)

Stacking Load = [(SH/PH) = n -1] x MGW

[(3000mm/213mm) = 14.08 – 1] 13.08 x 9.2 kg = 120.3 kg (265.2 lbs)

TEST: Samples #6 - #8 are subjected to an actual top load of 124.7 kg

RESULTS: After the completion of the stack test samples #6 thru #8 were placed on their sides and observed for any leakage,

each were then opened and inspected, each sample, after completion has shown 10mm ±2 compression after 24 hours.

NOTE: Stacking stability was not assessed since a guided load test was not performed

Vibration Standard

Guidelines: Code of Federal Regulations 49, Section 178.608. ASTM D4919 (11.1)

Methods: Three packages are filled and closed as for shipment. Testing is performed for 1 hour at a

frequency that causes the package to be raised from the vibrating platform 1.6 mm. The packages are

left free to move vertically, bounce and rotate in their normal shipping orientation. Packagings

submitted were conditioned at +23°C and 50% RH 24 hours prior to testing.

Rotary Vibration Table X Vertical Linier Vibration Table Criteria for Passing the Test: A packaging passes the Vibration Standard if there is no rupture or leakage from any of the packages. No test sample should show any deterioration, which could adversely affect transportation safety, or any distortion liable to reduce packaging strength.

TEST: Samples #9 - #11 are vibrated for 1 hour at 200 CPM (cycles per minute)

Immediately following the test, each package must be removed from the platform, turned on its side and

observed for any evidence of leakage.

RESULTS: No damage/leakage, each sample was opened and inspected after completion, inner

packagings were intact, outer packaging did show minor scuffing on the bottom panel, inner packagings

sustained no damage, outer packaging closure was intact.

Conclusions

The packages were tested according to Paragraphs 6.1.5.3, 6.1.5.6 and 6.1.4.12.1 of the Recommendations of the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Chapter 6, 12th Revision and 49CFR Section 178.608 for Group II products. The package met the test requirements and it is recommended that a UN certificate be issued with the mark Y, to wit:

4G / Y 9.2 / S / *

USA/+CA2169 * Year of Manufacture

where: 4G is the packaging type code Y is the packing group 9.2 is the gross mass in kg S is for combination packaging * year of manufacture USA is the country of testing +CA2169 is test number of certifying agency

The use of other packaging methods or components may render this report invalid.
